Sharing some backgrounds I posted on Instagram tonight. For some reason I always forget that making backgrounds always help me to find my inspiration. This time even playing with some acrylic paint. I have rearranged my scrap tables this weekend I am planning on setting up my camera to make some videos of my backgrounds. Just wish I had more light here in the basement.

The one with mostly green are White bazzill + clear gesso + waterbrush + mists. When dried I will add more drops of mists, stencils and stamps.

The last months have been quiet here on the blog and I have been making a lot less layouts than usual. Instead I have been knitting and doing other things. Haven't had the same amount of time to sit in my scraproom, but I wanted things to do.

I had fun decorating for a New Years party, so I decided to try to make a Valentine table, papers from Pink Paislee - Bella Rouge. I even decorated the plates - with nailpolish. I hope I can inspire you to go a little outside your comfort zone or normal scrap routine with this. (I even baked chocolate muffins for the photos.. I got my husband to buy some pink candy for the photo. Can you see the FIVE square sweets, well that was what he bought.....

Here are my non-scrapbook related projects from the last month. I have been knitting more than I show here, but have no photos. The grey and white chevron is a pillow in progress. I made lots of bags to have silica gel to have in cars to absorb moist. I made two skirts for my 5 year old, and lots of hats.

Here are a few of my hats. Avengers, Anna and Elsa from Frost and Minecraft.

In the first project I showed nailpolish plates. I planned to make glasses and stuff with nail polish as Christmas presents, but some of the nailpolish didn't really stick so I had to find something last minute, but they look cool enough in my scraproom....

Lastly I have painted different things in my scraproom, will show that later.

To sum it up, I ended 2014 by crrafting more and I intend to continue to. I hadn't knitted in 20 years and had forgot how fun it was. I have also bought some fabric (wished it wasn't impossible to get fun fabric here) so I will be sewing more in 2015. I did make a skirt and a dress last year.
